Application filed-January 30, 1915i Serial No. 5,260".

' ily` shifted so as to accord with the daysgof vthe month or to conceal certain of the days of the month. i

Another object of the invention is the provision of a calendar having means foi-.dis-

playing'the indicia; designating the name Aof the month and means for concealing certain of the indicia indicating: the days of the month, as where the calendar is used for February or months having,` only thirty days.

Another object of the inventionis to pro- Vide va calendar of this character which is formed in such manner that produces an invention applied to a combined perpetuall calendar and pencil holder. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken therethrough. Fig. 3 is a similar section taken at right angles to Fig. 2. Fig. t is a horizontal section taken on the line H of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a similar section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a similar section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 1. Fig.v 7 is a similar section on the line 7-7 of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a plan view of the tube blank.V` Fig. 9 is a plan View of the clip blank. Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing a` modified arrangement of the calendar. Fig. 11 is the side elevation of the modified form of my invention as applied to an ink well or paper weight.

Referring more particularly to the draw-' ing, l represents an elongated tube constructed from a single sheet of material, such as is shown in Fig. 8, and provided at its lower end with an outwardly extending externally milledv ribf2 whichfacilitates the holding of the tube, as will be hereinafter described.` The tube is also provided with anannular externallyextending rib 3 which retainsthe clip blank or sleeve el in position, as will be hereinafter described. Intermediate the ribsQ and 3 the blank is formed with a plurality ofv inwardly projecting tongues orl fingersl which have suliicient resiliency when bearing against the sides of the pencil to hold the same in-properly adjusted-position within the tube.

Immediately abovethe rib 3 and approximately at a` central point between said rib andthe upper` edge of the tube 1 there is formed in the blank aiplurality of longitudinally extending ribs orl ridges 6, seven in number to` be exact` which produce seven spaces 7` for the reception of indicia showing the days of themonth. These ribs are all provided with depressions 8 arranged: in rows transversely ofthe blank and intermediate the'indicia justmentioned.

Slidably and rotatably mounted upon the top of the tube is a sleeve 9 having an equal number of ribs or raised ridges 10 with the ridges 6 ofthe tube 1. These ridges are of sutlicient size to receive the ridges 6 and have their lower ends bent inwardly to produce a small ear` 1l for engagement with the depression 8 in the ribs G. The upper end of the sleeve 9 is provided with an annular raised and milled rib 12 which insures a positive grip for rotating or sliding the sleeve.' Between the ribs 10 are formed spaces 13 which receive indicia showing the days of the week. This sleeve may be raised above the ribs 6 and rotated so as to change the days of the week to correspond with the days of the month shown between the ribs 6 or may be moved downwardly over the ribs so as to conceal the monthly indicia as the weeks of the month go by.

Surrounding the tube immediately above the rib 3 and rotatably mounted thereon is an annular' strip 1i which is provided with lateral offset abutting ends 15 which project radially and form a detent for engagement with the internal grooves of the clip blank t. This clip blank is curled into tubular form and surrounds the strip 14 and the tube 1 being held against longitudinal displacement by the annular rib 3 which fits into a correspondingly formed groove 16 produced adjacent the lower edge of the blank Li. This inner groove, of course, produces an exterior rib which is milled, asv

an o enin 19 for the insertion of a in or other similar tool by Wliicnh the strip may be revolved independently of the clip sleeve. The indicia on the strip 14: is exposed through an opening 20 formed in the clip sleeve and the clip sleeve is held against accidental rotation on the tube 1 by means of the grooves 21 formed in an extension 2Q Which iits over the ribs 6, the grooves 21 partially receiving the ribs and the clip sleeve being arranged so that When turned the rib 6 Will snap int-o the grooves, as will be readily understood. The extension 22 as shown is provided with an opening through which the numbers 29, 30 and 31 of the monthly indicia may be exposed When desired, or any of these numbers may be covered by the extension, as will be readily understood. Projecting from and integrally formed with th'e lower end of the blank et is a clip 23 which is adapted toengage over the outer pocket Wall for securing the holder in position in the pocket, and, as shown, this clip is formed with off-sets 24C and 25 which form shoulders against Which the edges of the strip 111 abut, thus preventing relative longitudinal movement of these parts.

In the modiiicationshown in Fig. 10, the calendar is applied to an ink Well or paper' Weight which comprises a base l and a standard 2 upon which the tube 26, cap sleeve 27 and the equivalent of the clip sleeve 28V minus the clip is mounted. In this instance the sleeve 28 is, of course, devoidoi.1 the clip but operates in a manner similar to Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents',

i vertically of the strip, surrounded by the sleeve 28.' In other respects, the parts are identicalwiththat disclosedin Fig. 1 eX- cept that they are on a larger scale `'and the tube 1 is supplied with any suitable means Y for securing it tothe standard rising from the base. v

In the claims where the tube is referred to as an article holder it is to be understood that I not onlyY contemplate mounting the tube upon an article such as an ink stand or paper Weight `but that the tube is adapted to retain a pencil, pen or other similar device.

sleeve 4L with the right hand the other hand may be used to hold the tube l against turning and the milled rib 2 is tube to insure a firm grip.

lhat is claimed is In a calendar` a tube adapted to hold an article and carrying indicia showing `the days of themonth, a sleeve slidably Vand In turning oi'sliding the sleeve 9 or the placed upon the Y rotatably mounted upon the tube and carry ing `indicia showing the daysl ofthe'iveek, a

sleeve rotatably Vmounted upon the tube and showing the names'of the months, and an apertured sleeve surroundingthe last-named sleeve and rotatable independently,'saidV apertured sleeve having means to conceal certain 'of the monthly indicia. i

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of tivo Witnesses.
